Most good writing -- whether fiction or non-fiction -- arises from a writer's obsessions. In this session, we'll discuss how to explore our obsessions on the page, without falling pray to self-absorption or sentiment. We'll start by looking at the work of Nick Hornby, Calvin Trillin, and other obsessive writers, and proceed to a broader discussion of passionate attachment. This will be an intense, but informal session, with writing exercises and (with any luck) brief bouts of emotional nudity.

Saturday, May 22, 3-6 pm
